00:0022-year-old Arturo Rafael Brito Goncalves, a pilot, before he was picked up by ICE agents
00:07last week during Operation Buckeye. Arturo's family allowed ABC6 investigates exclusively
00:14into their home to talk to him during their daily call. How are you feeling as this is going on?
00:22I feel the same persecution that I feel in my country. Arturo and his family tell me they're
00:29from Venezuela, where they were nearly killed due to supporting regime opposition. Arturo tells me
00:36he showed agents his visa last week at the immigration office in Westerville. He says
00:41he's been checking in with ICE ever since he entered the country in 2023, when they questioned
00:47if he'd be working under his tourist visa. Provided by the family, Andrea shows me an authorization
00:53for employment card for Arturo through 2029. I found no criminal record for Arturo in Franklin,
01:02Delaware, Union and Madison counties here in central Ohio. He tells me his papers show he's able to stay
01:09in the country for several more years while waiting for asylum. People are saying that this is not
01:14happening, like they're not taking people who are not criminals. My brother just got detained and he's not a criminal.
